Proceeding contribution from Tobias Ellwood (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 4 December 2008. It occurred during Queen's speech debate on Debate on the Address.
Home Affairs and Justice
The Secretary of State does not need to write to me; he needs to write to the Navy and members of our armed forces, who need clarification. Despite all the Jack Sparrow films, piracy is not glamorous; it is an act of war. In an act of war, the armed forces are allowed to shoot at pirates, but if it is not an act of war but a criminal act, they are not allowed to shoot at them. The Navy is struggling with that confusion, which is why we need clarification from the Secretary of State.
